In Mario Kart Wii, Koopa Troopa and Dry Bones both have unused wing bones in their models. Since Koopa Paratroopa, who was playable in Mario Kart: Double Dash, is absent in Mario Kart Wii, this raises two possibilities:

-the more exciting option would be if, to expand the roster, winged versions of both Koopa Troopa and Dry Bones were planned, but not implemented. This would have been the first appearance of Parabones in the Mario franchise, as their eventual real debut was in Super Mario 3D World, 5 years later.

-alternatively, the less exciting option is that this could have been simply a case of unused content persisting across several models. Since the Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa models in Mario Kart: Double Dash are made from the same template, the wing bones could have been preserved when importing the model into Mario Kart Wii despite not being used. Then, when editing the model into Dry Bones, it is possible that the bones were still preserved despite being unused a second time.

Do you ever think about how, before the discovery of how to cultivate pearls, natural pearls were all there were and were vanishingly rare, with white, round pearls a tiny fraction of that extremely rare commodity, and so when someone in a Renaissance portrait appears draped in ropes and ropes of white pearls, it represents a truly eyewatering level of wealth that this person could afford such lavish adornments, and that this goes mostly over the head of a modern viewer of the painting, who is so accustomed to plastic pearls and abundant cultured pearls that the pearls in the painting seem only mildly extravagant
